University of Technology Bahrain (UTB), in collaboration with the Northern Governorate, recently launched a campaign aimed at cleaning up Jid Al Haj Beach. This joint initiative seeks to raise awareness about the significance of preserving biodiversity in the Kingdom, particularly in coastal areas.

The university emphasised the importance of instilling a sense of responsibility and environmental consciousness among the participants. It stressed the value of partnerships between educational institutions and society in promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices.

The programme witnessed an impressive turnout of volunteers, including students, parents, faculty members, and university staff, who actively participated in the campaign. Equipped with the necessary tools, the volunteers worked tirelessly for a few hours to collect and dispose of one hundred kilogrammes of garbage, ensuring that the beach was restored to its original condition.

It is noteworthy that Bahrain University of Technology introduced the environmental engineering major among the new majors added early last year. Demonstrating its strong dedication to environmental issues and sustainable development, the university supports research and innovation in the fields of the environment and renewable energy.

It strives to graduate a generation of students who are committed to sustainable development and social responsibility.
